Item Comparing the Structure, Size and Performance of Local and Mainstream Food Supply Chains(US Department of Agriculture, 2010-06) King, Robert P.; Hand, Michael S.; DiGiacomo, Gigi; Clancy, Kate; Gomez, Miguel I.; Hardesty, Shermain D.; Lev, Larry; McLaughlin, Edward W.A series of coordinated case studies compares the structure, size, and performance of local food supply chains with those of mainstream supply chains. Interviews and site visits with farms and businesses, supplemented with secondary data, describe how food moves from farms to consumers in 15 food supply chains. Key comparisons between supply chains include the degree of product differentiation, diversification of marketing outlets, and information conveyed to consumers about product origin. The cases highlight differences in prices and the distribution of revenues among supply chain participants, local retention of wages and proprietor income, transportation fuel use, and social capital creation.Item Franklin Avenue Light Rail Transit Task Force.(2000) Mendez, VeronicaItem Planning for Success in the SNAP-Ed Classroom: Strategies for Engaging Modern Learners in Health & Nutrition(University of Minnesota Extension, 2013-10) Sherman, Shelley; Hurtado, G.Ali; Marczak, Mary; Letourneau, Sue; Perdue, Laura; Barno, Christine; Lovett, Kathleen; Brady, AlisonThis poster describes the program implementation of a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) in Extension. The presentation will focus on planning strategies for successful program delivery. We conducted an Implementation Evaluation using multiple method case studies. Data sources included interviews with facilitators and participants, observations, and surveys. Evaluators transcribed and coded 15 interviews with SNAPEd participants and educators to better understand what types of session planning strategies contribute to effective implementation of health and nutrition programs. The interviews asked whether these strategies engaged new learners, as well as how planning contributes to classroom management and the quality of the learning environment. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to great SNAP-Ed implementation, skilled session planning strategies can be used to effectively engage learners in a low-tech, yet highly interactive classroom. Furthermore, content adaptation during implementation was relevant to connect participant immediate needs with program objectives/ goals. Considerations for program planning are explored.
